Remember Elephant’s Dream? Well, in 2008, there’ll be a new movie and it’s called as Peach. I didn’t really know about it until I read a blog entry with a link to the Peach posters. The upcoming movie’s characters look really fluffy! Aren’t these animators amazing? The open movie is slated to […]

One of my friends has been telling me how he loves using Launchy on Windows. I never cared much for something like it because I usually press Alt+F2 so I could have the run dialog box and type the name of the app from there. In any case, Linuxhelp writes about Gnome Do […]

May you have enough disk space for dual-booting your shared desktop machine at home, may you not experience kernel panic today and may your family and friends enjoy the experience of using Linux on the computer! :)
(Yeah, it sounds quite cheesy, I know, but those are great Christmas gifts, if you ask me!)
Happy holidays!

Thanks to nixternal’s blog entry, here’s a link to a nice weather wallpaper for you. The name of the app: Weather Wallpaper. How direct can you get? ;)
As the site says, it works like this:
The program will retrieve the weather report from NOAA and create a wallpaper with the information for the default […]

LINUX CHRISTMAS Mini Button (10 pack)
LINUX CHRISTMAS Hooded Sweatshirt
LINUX CHRISTMAS Ringer T-shirt

Thanks to Kamotegirl, I learned that there is a Xubuntu release made for the Asus EEE PC. Aint’ that cool or what? And this is where you download it: eeexubuntu-7.10.2-desktop-i386.iso
While Ubuntu worked reasonably well on the EeePC before, there were plenty of additional steps necessary to get WiFi working as well as reducing the […]

Articles have been talking about the possibility of Linux in phones for the coming year. However there are also those who wonder if there will be fragmentation.
For me, Linux on mobile phones would be great because it would mean that users don’t have to stick with proprietary stuff like Windows Mobile. It means […]

Today I went to Trinoma to look for a Memory Stick. As I was looking around in the various shops, I noticed that the Asus EEE PC was being sold for something like Php18,000 or a little bit less. Anyhow, there was a shop that had it on for anybody to check out […]
